Ei Bara Paile Dekha Carana Du’ Khani

ei-bāra pāile dekhā caraṇa du’ khāni hiyāra mājhāre rākhi juḍāba parāṇī

I pray that I may now see the two lotus feet of Lord Krsna. I shall place these lotus feet in my heart. I will dedicate my entire life and soul to them.

tāṅre nā dekhiyā mora mane baḍa tāpa anale paśiba kiṁva jale diba jhāṁpa

If I am not able to see Lord Krsna's lotus feet, my heart will burn with suffering. I will end this life by entering a blazing fire, or jumping into the water.

mukhera muchaba ghāma khāoyāba pāna guyā ghāmete bātāsa diba candanādi cuyā

When I meet Lord Krsna I will serve Him in various ways. I will wipe the perspiration from His face. I will give Him nice food and drink. I will offer Him betel-nuts. I will fan Him. I will anoint His body with sandalwood paste and other aromatic substances.

vṛndāvanera phulera gāṅthiya diba hāra bināiyā bāndhiva cūḍā kuntalera bhāra

I will string a garland of Vrndavana forest flowers, and then present that garland to Lord Krsna. I will carefully arrange His hair and tie His topknot.

kapāle tilaka diba candanera cāṅda narottama dāsa kahe pirītera phāṅda

I will decorate Lord Krsna with a peacock feather, tilaka markings, and a moon drawn in sandalwood paste. Narottamadasa says; In this way I will gradually attain love for Lord Krsna.
